Parameter settings:
Pr 4D Relay B Action
Select 'Changeover Contactor'
Pr 4E Relay B On Delay
Set this to the maximum time (5m:00s).
Pr 13A Motor Data-1 Ramp
Select 'Dual Ramp' (for slip-ring induction motor control)
Pr 13D Changeover Time
Default setting is 150 milliseconds. Set this to a value just greater than the changeover contactor (KM1) pole closing
time.
Pr 13C Slip Ring Retard
Default setting is 50%. Set this parameter to a value which is high enough to cause the motor to instantly accelerate
once the rotor resistance (R1) has been bridged out and low enough to avoid a motor current pulse.
For this installation to function correctly, only use the primary motor settings. Only use the constant current start method
(Pr 2A Start Mode).
